They serve as good reference points on a particularly website's success in terms of traffic generation, but they are not good pin pointers of precise unique visitor and page load counts.

So this web site is directly reporting to Quantcast. Yes he has stated the income he makes from the site. It's in another posting, I believe about blogging or maybe a net worth statement. @Sims: the stats are accurate as the blog has JavaScript on the bottom of every page.

Has he ever actually said he makes $100,000 a year from this blog alone? I don't know how much credibility those online stat trackers have in showing actual website traffic.

It's 154k monthly or 1540 clicked links (if doing more realistically 1%) or $5.40 a click, which based upon some of the affiliate links sounds kinda low, but might be with all of the Google AdSense, and he also said it was at least 100k annually.

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 01:37:32 +0000 http://www.moneybluebook.com/?p=10503#comment-114084 Well if you look at the web site stats: http://www.quantcast.com/moneybluebook.com approx 7k of visitors hit this site monthly. Let's assume it's 140 click through (2%) Based upon his stated 100k year (or $8333.00) monthly that makes each click approx $60, which sounds about right based upon the banners and affiliate links he's going after.

Is he getting his income from this blog through advertising alone or is he only earning a small portion of his total overall income from this site and getting the bulk of it from his lawyer business? I've also noticed that his networth has only recently started soaring within the last 1-2 years. Before that it seemed rather flat. Was he just not reporting his income and assets accurately at that time? How is this possible his net worth would suddenly start taking off out of no where???

That would explain why your low capital to income ratio. Congrats on the new income stream! You'll want to look into tax optimization for sure given Bush's tax cuts expire in 2011. Good luck with your progress, and don't get tempted to splurge! :) I wouldn't compare yourself to others as well. Just know your balance sheet looks fine, and continue to build that capital base. You should be able to join the ranks of the millionaires in 3-3.5 years of you keep it up! Best, Sam-urai Hey Raymond – I didn’t realize you just came to this income earnings stream.

I am very new to such higher levels of incomes as reflected by the fact that I have yet to properly create the most advantageous business entity to minimize my tax liability (formation of an LLC to be taxed as an S Corp). I have also yet to set up a proper SEP-IRA account for self employment retirement planning purposes. These are things I plan on executing within the next few weeks! Modder,
